That + the RuPaul factor make this unbelievable.

shaq is as 2 face as they come, if he signs on, Shaq will annouce Bosh will be the GOAT of PF that Shaq has ever played with, Riley will be the GOAT of GM he's every played for.

Another ego and someone who burned his bridges on his way out of Miami?

Nope!

Alot of people take the media's interpretation of Shaq way too seriously. He's one of the most charitable and humble guys in the league, not sure where people get this idea of his "ego" getting in the way. He would be one of the leat egotistical Miami Heat next season.

I don't want to say too much, but LeBron loved his time with Shaq and feels he would be a great addition to help in areas they need support. Wade needed to be talked into it a bit, but is with it. Bosh said something along the lines of slowing them up, but LeBron was quick to point out, that NBA Champs aren't usually run-n-gun teams. Also mentioned how Shaq's passing ability would be a great asset when people try to double down.

I disagree with everyone thinking Shaq would not be a valuable addition to this team. He would play 20 minutes to rebound, defend, block a shot and cram down a couple of dunks. Also, when the Heat play Orlando, Shaq will be able to body up against Howard.

Plus, come on now... Shaq HAS to join this reality TV Show that is known as the Miami Heat. James, Wade, RuPaul and now Shaq? With Pat Riley as coach... amazing. Shaq has to go and join this circus, it wouldn't be the same without his antics.

Nope. He had a physical confrontation with Riley in practice the day before was traded, only to be separated by Zo before it got bad. The day after he called Chris Quinn and Ricky Davis some dumb names and called Wade "Wonder Boy."

The Heat 2 days after did nothing or said nothing to the media but provide a statement that thanked Shaq for his contributions and wished him well.

Shaq cares about Shaq only, but he is VERY charitable. But, yeah.

I like how debacLeBron is giving pointers on how championships are won. Good news.

looks like Shaq will be next to follow Haslem, Howard, and Miller.

I would rather have Ilgauskas honestly. Shaq is worthless.

Rambo44 · Post #98 » by **Rambo44** » Mon Jul 12, 2010 9:14 pm

the OP just posted a quote that just says "source" in front of it. I searched to see if there's any truth to it or to see if what the OP wrote has been posted anywhere else. And the answer is no. There is no truth to this at all.

shaq left the Heat on very bad terms.

As a Laker fan I will be happy if Shaq DOESNT go to the Heat.... Not that he's still that good of a player, but imo Shaq would increase their chances of winning a championship this year...

He is a big, and able, body you can put next to Bosh to play 20-24 min a game... Their other options are Joel Anthony, Kwame Brown, Jamaal Magloire, Dexter Pittman or MAYBE Illgauskus.... If I were a Heat fan I would take my chances on Shaq.... All those other guys are just horrible.
